Normocytic means, literally, "normal cell." It's often used in the context of describing anemia, where it indicates cells of normal size, rather than those that are too big, which are macrocytic, or too small, which are microcytic.
* Cell size (blood cells): (Terms that refer to cellular size end with "cytic".) normocytes (normal) microcytes (smaller than normal) macrocytes (larger than normal) anisocytes (various sizes)
Normocytic and normochromic blood is normal.
Normocytic anemia (normal MCV) can be caused by kidney and liver disease, bone marrow disorders, or excessive bleeding or hemolysis of the red blood cells.
no
It's not possible to answer without further information. If you lose half your blood volume, you will have life-threatening normocytic, normochromic anemia. Ask your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
Anisocytosis normocytic normochromic means there is a variation in the size of red blood cells in a person. This can be caused by a folate or iron deficiency.
Normocytic normochromic blood picture indicates that red blood cells are of normal size and color. Relative eosinophilia means there is an increase in eosinophils compared to other types of white blood cells. This can be seen in allergic reactions, parasitic infections, or certain types of blood disorders.

A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called a normocytic red blood cell.
Your hemoglobin percentage is okay. You red blood cells are normocytic and normochromic. When blood forming system or hematopoeitic system over work, you can reticulocytes in the circulation. They are the red blood cells with the nucleus.
Iron deficiency anemia. The normal hematocrit (ratio of packed red blood cells to total blood volume) rules out anemia due to loss of blood cells through hemorrhage or sickling. Below-normal hemoglabin indicates an iron deficiency in this case. No available iron = no hemoglobin produced.
'Normo' means normal 'cytic' means cell size 'chromic' means color Thus, normocytic normochromic red cells are normal sized, normal colored red cells. The size and color of cells is often measured when evaluating anemia. But just because the blood appears normal, does not mean there is not a problem. For instance anemia due to acute blood loss will be normocytic normochromic.
You describe a normal complete blood count. That is a finding separate from the HIV test. Whether you need an HIV test is not based on the complete blood count; instead, you should have an HIV test based on your risk factors for acquiring HIV.
